LAWRENCE, Ind. (WISH) — Police in Lawrence are asking for help to identify a man who passed himself off as a utility worker, forced his way into a home, and sexually assaulted a person inside.
Police described the suspect as a man in his late 20s to early 30s with a dark complexion, wearing a utility-worker-style hard hat, clear goggles, a medical-style face mask, and a traffic safety vest, police said in a Tuesday news release.
